Our Review
Money Heist (2017) is a action and crime series from Netflix. It has built a run of 41 episodes. It premiered on May 2, 2017. Viewers rate it 8 out of 10. It is currently ended. It runs 4 seasons.
What Money Heist Is About
A group of very peculiar robbers have assaulted the Factory of Moneda and Timbre to carry out the most perfect robbery in the history of Spain and taking home 2,400 million euros.
What to Expect When You Watch
The format keeps each instalment self-contained enough to drop into, the full run covers 41 episodes, spread across 4 seasons and it leans into its action/crime roots while leaving room for the quieter character beats.
Performance-wise the series leans on Darko Peric, Jaime Lorente and Miguel Herrán to carry the emotional weight, with the rest of the ensemble filling out the world around them.
Cast and Creative Team
Darko Peric, Jaime Lorente, Miguel Herrán, Úrsula Corberó, Álvaro Morte and Esther Acebo lead the cast.
Key roles include Darko Peric as Helsinki; Jaime Lorente as Denver; Miguel Herrán as Río; Úrsula Corberó as Tokio; Álvaro Morte as El Profesor.
Why It Stands Out
Fans of action, crime and thriller have a clear reason to give this one a shot. It sits comfortably alongside Netflix’s other originals, a 8/10 audience score puts it in steady company and it commits to its premise instead of hedging between tones.
Released in 2017 and carried by Netflix with the series still ended, it lands hardest with action and crime viewers.
How Money Heist Compares
If Money Heist lands for you, the next stops are Avatar: The Last Airbender, Attack on Titan and Star Trek: The Next Generation, which share its action/crime lean.
Each of those sits at a different point on the same spectrum, so they make a natural follow-up once you finish the run here.

On the whole Money Heist is the kind of series that rewards a patient watch, with Darko Peric and Jaime Lorente doing the heaviest lifting, a tone that stays true to its action/crime roots, It has held up since 2017 and so if the premise sounds like your lane, the execution holds up.
The Bottom Line
Money Heist is a safe bet for anyone already inside the action and crime lane, at 41 episodes it is an easy run to work through, the audience score holds around 8/10 and so there is little risk in starting it tonight.
Verdict: 8/10. Watch it if you want action/crime you can settle into.
